This Dog's Undying Love for Pizza Almost Burned Down His Owner's House

Whether it's a rat or a raccoon, there's a special place in our hearts for animals who love pizza. This chocolate lab is the latest one who just can't get enough of the cheesy stuff.

In September, a 2-year-old pooch named Brookfield, from Waterbury, CT, spotted two boxes of pizza sitting on top of the stove. Smelling the heavenly aroma of the slices, the canine plotted his pizza-stealing plan.

While his owners were nowhere in sight, he jumped up and gave into his temptation. He managed to find his way to open the box, and commenced his life as a pizza thief.

Unfortunately, his love affair took a dark turn when the canine accidentally switched on the burner. The box caught on fire just moments after he finished eating it. (Was he trying to get rid of the evidence?)

Thankfully, no one was harmed and no damage was done because his humans, Gary and Katie LeClerc came to the rescue. They later posted the security footage on Facebook as a cautionary tale of what happens when you put things on a stove. "My wife and I are trying to use this video for educational purposes as well as entertainment since it is both funny and eye-opening," he told NBC Connecticut.
